HENRY E. JAN ES, OF NElV YORK, N. Y.

STOVE OR RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,050, dated February 19, 1889.

Application filed October 10, 1888. Serial No. 287,759. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY E. JANEs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves or Ranges, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improvement in the construction of stoves or ranges, and has for its object to provide a means whereby coal and cind ers will be effectuallyprevented from passing from the grate to the dues.

The invention consists in the construction and combination ofthe several parts, as will be fully set forth hereinafter, and pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the stove, the top plate being partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a transverse central section, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section taken on line a: a: of Fig. 1.

In carrying out the invention, A represents the top plate of the stove; B, the grate; C, the lid-openings in the top plate, and D the top plate of the oven D.

At each side of the grating B, a predetermined distance therefrom, a grating, E. is secured between the top oven-plate and the top plate, A, of the stove. The grating E is preferably made of a length suflicient to extend from the front of the stove rearward beyond the back of the grate, as best illustrated in Fig. 1, and the height of the grating is equal to the distance between the top oven-plate, D, and the top plate, A, as best illustrated in Fig. 2, the bottom of the grating being made to rest upon the oven-plate D and the top against the under side of the top plate, A.

The grating is attached, preferably, to the oven-plate through the medium of a lug or lugs, E, formed integral with the lower edge, as illustrated in Fig. 2; and if in practice it is found desirable other similar lugs may be formed integral with the upper edge. The lugs are ordinarily secured to the oven-plate through the medium of bolts, screws, or equivalent fastening devices.

The rear end of the grating E is provided with a concavity, I-I, near the lower edge, as best shown in Fig. 3, which concavity is adapted to embrace the pipes H, leading to and from the water-back H the grating upon one side of the grate embracing the outletpipe and the opposite grating the inlet-pipe, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with a range or stove and the water-back thereof, of a grating located at each side of the grate between the upper oven-plate and the top of the stove, and provided with a concavity in the rear edge adapted to embrace the pipes of the waterback, substantially as shown and described.

HENRY E. JANES.
